Weren't Neil Armstrong during Gemini and Apollo, and Harrison Schmidt on Apollo 14, civilians? Yes, of course. The first civilian astronaut was Joseph Walker, who flew the X-15 to an altitude of 347,800 feet on July 19, 1963. Were the X-15 pilots classified as "astronauts"? Yep. http://www.spaceline.org/astronauts/x15pilots.html Also see http://www.fai.org/astronautics/100km.asp Dima
